OK, here is is. :)

Translators and users. If it becomes too busy, we'll split the two. To
start with, the list will be very slow, only update requests and other
translation monitoring. I am currently the only Vietnamese translator
for Debian. But we anticipate a lot of interest in free software in
oncoming months, due to the Vietnamese government suddenly deciding we
should all use "open source", the increase in localized software
available recently, and the upcoming release of a fully-localized
OpenOffice.org 3.0.

It's not short, but it's the pattern required by Deb18n.

As I said, we anticipate a lot of interest in free software in
oncoming months, due to the Vietnamese government suddenly deciding we
should all use "open source", the increase in localized software
available recently, and the upcoming release of a fully-localized
OpenOffice.org 3.0. Also, we are setting up a robot system to monitor
the status of submitted translations and files needing update: all
those emails will go to this list. We have had problems with update
emails going to the wrong address, or being bounced from our community
mailing lists. So we're trying to address three separate issues here:
anticipated increasing participation by our community, the need for a
Debian list to manage the translation update system, and a way to
ensure all translation-related emails are received and processed.

This is the Debian localization list for Vietnamese localization
announcements and translation status checks, discussions between
Vietnamese translators and quesions from Vietnamese community users
with language-related issues.
Đây là hộp thư chung Việt hoá Debian, chứa các thông báo
Việt hoá và kiểm tra trạng thái về bản dịch, cho các
dịch giả thảo luận và các người dùng hỏi câu về
vấn đề Việt hoá.

Christian says the other l10n lists are open, and they don't have spam
problems. If that is the case, we can leave this one open. It will
certainly be easier for user queries.
And if we get spammed, I can blame him. :D

yes
At Debian mailing list archives.

It's just me, to start with. There will be more later. I'll publicize
the new list on our community lists. I'll be monitoring it myself
because of the translation status and update emails.
I hope this is adequate.
